摘要: 复杂环境下雷达对无人机等低慢小目标探测与识别面临诸多挑战,相关研究成为雷达探测领域的热点和难点问题。数据集是雷达目标探测与识别研究的基础,其数据质量和多样性对算法的性能验证起到了重要作用。目前公开发布的数据集雷达多布设于地面,对空探测背景相对较为理想,在杂波环境下雷达对无人机目标探测数据集较少,探测场景、观测视角、目标飞行高度、信号带宽等参数较为单一,数据多样性有待提高。针对上述问题,本文构建了一套地杂波背景下雷达低慢小无人机探测数据集(LSS-Ku-1.0)。采用置于高塔上的Ku波段相控阵雷达,在野外丛林和草地环境下,录取了强杂波背景无人机目标雷达回波数据。该数据集包含不同信号波形、带宽、擦地角以及三种不同飞行高度的旋翼无人机目标回波。基于该数据集,分别对杂波的统计分布特性和时间相关性进行了分析,采用5种统计模型对杂波统计分布进行了拟合,给出了拟合优度检验结果。同时,对无人机旋翼的微多普勒特性进行了分析,并研究了典型数据的一维距离像、频谱图、时频图、距离-多普勒谱,为雷达低慢小目标特性分析和检测与识别研究提供了数据支撑。Abstract: The radar detection and recognition of low-slow and small targets, such as unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV) in complex environments, encounter significant challenges, while related research has become an important and difficult issue in the field of radar detection. The dataset is the basis of radar target detection and recognition research, and data quality and diversity play an important role in the performance validation of data processing algorithms. In the current publicly released dataset, radars are often deployed on the ground, with a relatively clear background for aerial target detection. At present, there are fewer publicly released radar UAV target-detection datasets under clutter background, while the detection scenarios, observation viewpoints, target flight heights, and signal bandwidths are relatively single. Therefore, data diversity needs to be improved. This study constructs a set of radar low-slow-small UAV detection datasets (LSS-Ku-1.0) under a ground-clutter background. Using a Ku-band phased-array radar placed on a high tower, the radar echo data of UAV targets with strong clutter background were recorded in the complex and wild environment of a jungle and grassland. The dataset covers target echoes with different signal waveforms, bandwidths, grazing angle variations, and three different flight altitudes. Based on the dataset, the statistical distribution and time-dependent characteristics of the clutter were analyzed. Five statistical models were used to fit the statistical distribution of clutter, and the results of goodness-of-fit tests were given. The micro-Doppler characteristics of the rotor blades of the UAV were analyzed. The high-resolution range profile, spectrogram, time-frequency map, and range-Doppler spectrum of typical data were also investigated. These provided data support for the analysis of radar characteristics of low-slow-small targets, as well as research on detection, tracking, and recognition.
